These are surprisingly flavorful! A nice savory breakfast or side for lunch or dinner. It's an adapted, lower-fat version of the recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.
I plant basil every year just so I can make pesto and have enough to freeze it (3 plants is all it takes). The hardest part is washing the basi leaves. Once made, I quickly put it into snack size plastic bags. The only thing about pesto is that it turns brown when exposed to air, so close the bags quickly and keep the remaining pesto covered with plastic wrap while filling the bags.
A much lighter version of chicken parmesan. I use the smaller organic chicken breasts that are about 3 oz each.
My neighbor gave me this awesome recipe that her grandfather used to make. It used regular pork sausage and way more cheese and butter. This is my low cal version. I serve it with 1/2 cup of cannelloni beans and I add those to my calorie count separately. You could cook them in the soup though and add them into the recipe. (My boyfriend won't eat the beans.)
So easy, so yummy, and so healthy-- one serving contains 42% of your daily iron and 11g fiber!
i adapted the skillet lasagna recipe to be gluten-free, added some more vegetables and ground turkey, instead.
